thanksgiving son!

i'm way overdue with shots from thanksgiving.  this years turkey was more like an oversized chicken (approx. 8.5 lbs) but it was perfect for the small number of guests.  i made a simple brine with rosemary, thyme, garlic, sage, madagascar black peppercorns, and salt (of course). 24 hours later i rubbed the young turk down with butter, garlic, and parsley then stuffed some carrots, half a lemon, and fuji apples inside.   enjoy the photos and i'll be back with more pronto...if you don't believe me i can't be mad at ya, the troof is in da proof!
